You'll always mean to write that note to your kid. We make sure you actually do.
Trove Notes helps you write the notes you'd want your child to read someday — about who they are, what you saw in them, what you hope for them. Some you'll write yourself. Some you'll write with the help of a 5-minute conversation. Either way, they end up in one place — a treasure trove of who they were, ready for the day you give them.
Every parent has things they want to tell their kid. Most never write them down — and the ones who do still risk losing them.
Not because they don't care. Because the moment is hard. You'd have to sit down. You'd have to find the words. You'd have to know what to say. By the time you have time, you've forgotten what you wanted to remember, and you're back to dinner needing to be made.
So the things that mattered — what you saw in them, what you wanted them to know about themselves, what you'd tell them if they were old enough to hear it — those stay in your head. Or worse, they leak out as half-comments they don't remember when they're seven, and that you don't remember when they're seventeen.
Trove Notes is the system that makes sure you actually get them down — and that they actually reach your kid someday.
Two things, working together.
The everyday capture, and the deeper writing. You don't need to do both. Most parents end up doing both anyway.
Two parts.
The writing is the point.
The notes are what your child actually receives someday — the things you'd want them to know about who they are and what you saw in them. The monthly conversation is how those notes get written, even on the days you don't know what to say. The small moments you save along the way are what make them specific. You don't have to do both. Most parents end up doing both anyway.
For the things you'd want them to know.
Once a month, on a rhythm you set, we'll ask if you have five minutes. If you do, we have a short conversation about what's been going on with your kid — and you don't have to arrive with the right words. We ask. You answer like you'd talk to a friend.
Then we draft a note to your child in your voice. You read it, change anything that doesn't sound like you, and save it — or rewrite it yourself if you'd rather. It goes into their Trove Archive, waiting for the day you hand it over.
That monthly nudge is the part that matters most. You were always going to mean to write these. We make sure you actually do.
Want to write one entirely on your own? Do it straight from the dashboard, anytime.
I've been having the best time coaching your little league baseball team, but today in the game I was pitching and accidentally hit you with a pitch. Oof. I'm sorry.
You were angry. I tried to say something and you didn't want to hear it. So you sat with it. For a couple innings, you sat with it on your own.
And then you decided to get back out there. Nobody made you. You just decided. Your last at-bat, you hit one of the best balls I've seen you hit all season. I want you to remember that — not the hit, the deciding.
— Dad
Catch the little things while they're still fresh.
The funny thing she said in the car. The first big hit. The worry at midnight. The photo you'll forget you took. Text it, jot it on your dashboard, or email it straight to your child's private address — no app, no upload screens, no perfect words required.
Every moment you save lands in their Trove Archive and gives the next conversation something real to dig into. You don't have to capture anything to use Trove Notes. But the parents who jot as they go end up with notes that hold the details they'd otherwise have lost.
Or text a moment straight in — same number for every kid.
Do the conversations, the capturing, or both. Either way, every year around your child's birthday, we help you turn everything you've saved into a book — yours to keep, on your screen or in print.
For when you don't know what to say.
Most parents have things they want to tell their kids someday. Most parents never get around to writing them down — not because they don't care, but because sitting with a blank page is hard.
We don't ask you to write a meaningful note from scratch. We have a short conversation, ask the right questions, and draft the note for you. You decide if it sounds like you. If it does, save it. If not, edit it. That's it.
We'll nudge you about once a month — but you don't have to wait for us. Start a conversation whenever you've got something to say, and skip the months you don't.
The conversation becomes the note.
A 5-minute conversation. A note saved forever. This is the entire product.
Dear Rocco,
You're graduating from preschool this week, and it hit me how fast you're growing up.
I want you to know who you are right now. You're energetic. You're sharp — you're already reading books, you know your multiplication tables, and you think critically about the world around you. You've got a wit about you that lightens the mood in any room you walk into. And there's something about you that other kids feel — they gravitate to you. You have a presence.
I hope you always keep that wit and that joy — the world needs both.
— Mom
A note that sounds like you, not like an AI.
Same parent. Same milestone. Two very different results.
My dearest Rocco,
What a magical day this is! As you graduate from preschool, my heart overflows with pride and joy. You are growing into such an amazing little boy, and I am so blessed to be your mom.
Always remember that you can be anything you want to be. The world is your oyster, and the sky is the limit. Never stop dreaming, never stop believing in yourself, and always know that I will love you to the moon and back.
Congratulations on this wonderful milestone!
Love always, Mom

Real note from a real conversation. Used with permission.
Every birthday, a new volume.
Most products give you the most value on day one. This one gives you something new on your child's birthday, every year.
Every year of their life, in your hands.
Around your child's birthday each year, we'll nudge you to put together their book — every text, photo, conversation, and note from that year, laid out like a real book in a design you choose. Yours to download, and to print if you'd like.
Some parents share them with their kids each year as a tradition. Others save them all for one big delivery — a graduation, a wedding, the day they become a parent themselves. The volumes are yours to give when the time feels right.
Yours to keep. Forever. Even if we're not around.
A real book of a real year.
Here's what a Trove Notes volume actually looks like inside. Cover, your moments laid out by season, a full-page photo plate, and a section of Notes — the letters you wrote directly to them. These are real pages from the book.
You only pay per child.
Less than a coffee a month — and everyone you invite to help is free.
- A keepsake volume for your child, every year — their whole year as a real book you put together each birthday, in a design you choose
- Notes in your voice from a 5-minute conversation — anytime — we ask the questions, you just say yes
- Monthly nudges so a year never slips by — we check in so you never mean to and forget
- Your whole family can contribute — free — co-parents, grandparents, aunts, sitters; pay only per child
- Your private family archive — every note, photo, and moment in one place (add by email or text)
- Yours to keep, forever — export anytime; the volumes are yours even if we're not around
| Per child | Yearly | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 1st child | $40 | $4.00 |
| 2nd child | $20 | $2.00 |
| 3rd child | $15 | $1.50 |
| 4th child & beyond | $10 each | $1.00 each |
The best time to start was the day they were born.
The second best is today.
